The beachfront Royal Cancun has everything you need for a relaxing family getaway. Take advantage of the available all-inclusive plan; it removes the hassle out of planning all of the little details, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your vacation. Once you get settled in your condo, change into swimsuits, grab goggles and water wings and remember, there’s no such thing as too much sunscreen. There are two outdoor pools to choose from, and each one has its own poolside bar. Relax with a refreshing cocktail while the little ones splash around in the children's pool. Get in touch with your inner Serena Williams on the lighted tennis courts or for a more traditional workout there’s a state-of-the-art fitness center. Treat yourself with a massage, facial or body wrap at Villa Spa while the kids hang out in the on-site children’s club.

Two-bedroom villas sleep four guests, and two-bedroom family villas sleep five to six guests. Full kitchens because sometimes a mini-fridge just doesn’t cut it. Stock up on groceries at The Royal Market, located on-site, or at nearby Superama. Don’t feel like cooking? No problem! The Royal Cancun has a Mexican restaurant, an Italian restaurant and a Sports Bar. When it comes to dessert, let the kids help bake your famous chocolate-chip cookies (and be the official taste testers). In-suite entertainment includes Flatscreen TVs with Cable, perfect for catching a sitcom rerun. Be sure to pack favorite movies from home for family movie night – you’ll have a DVD player. Call everyone into the living room, put one of the kids on popcorn and snack duty and another in charge of grabbing blankets and get ready for a low-key night in. The last thing you want to do when you get home from vacation is laundry. Good news! The resort has on-site laundry facilities, now all you have to do when you get home is unpack.

The Royal Cancun is just steps from a beautiful white sand beach. Pull up a lounge chair and catch up on that book you’ve been meaning to finish while the kids have a contest to see who can build the biggest sandcastle. If you’re planning to do more than lounge or build castles in the sand, stop at the resort’s Sports Desk to borrow sailboats, paddleboards or snorkel masks and fins – they even have bikes and golf clubs. The calm water is perfect for snorkeling, keep an eye out for starfish, barracuda, turtles and stingrays. Have a swashbuckling adventure at The Last Pirate Night Show. Join Captain Morgan upon the Jolly Roger, modeled after the Santa Maria, Christopher Columbus’ ship. The show lasts three-and-a-half hours, is spoken in both Spanish and English and includes dinner (vegetarian options are available) along with an open bar.
